Licence

Hi :) My name is Milan. I’m a user on the serbian wiki. I want to upload some pictures from the website www.myexit.org. It’s about a music festival EXIT in Novi Sad, Serbia. This website have a licence CC-BY-SA-NC , and it’s not compatible with GFDL (because of NC). But we on the serbian wiki have a special permission to upload and use all pictures and text from this website. Is it possible to upload these pictures on the Wikimedia Commons. I don’t want someone erase them because of this licences incomatibility. I’m sorry if my english is not very good. Please answer here. Thank you!

No. It must be compatible with Commons rules to be uploaded here. Cary Bass ^demandez 14:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Vivelafete paradiso.jpg

Salut,

Cette photo a été uploadée il y a quelques années. Je ne sais pas si OTRS existait à l'époque, mais la description parle d'un échange de mails dont on ne trouve aucune trace. Je ne sais pas si on peut réellement considérer cette image comme libre. J'ai depuis uploadé plusieurs nouvelles photos de ce groupe sous licence CC-BY-SA-2.0 issues de Flickr. Il faudrait peut être contacter l'auteur ou supprimer l'image, non ? En passant, je n'ai trouvé sur Commons:OTRS aucun modèle à ajouter pour ce genre de cas (et c'est loin d'être le premier que je rencontre). Il faudrait peut être penser en créer un :) Okki 03:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the 2 images above were uploaded by Ella Spencer, the PA and publicity manager for Steve Balderson, an independent filmmaker who owns their copyright. As she is not herself Steve and they are commercial images, the sourcing was queried and they are now in danger of being deleted. I contacted Ella on her userpage on the English Wikipedia en:User talk:Pipistrello2004 and she has got Steve to send an email. She has asked me if this will work and I haven't a clue. Another admin who was helpful in the past said I needed to talk to someone with OTRS access. So please, will you help? --Simonxag 01:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Category:SVG maps

Image deletion warning

Category:SVG maps has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file. In all cases, please do not take the deletion request personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Image:Greystitle.jpg

Hi, you deleted Image:Greystitle.jpg, with the comment Copyrighted title. Not free. Not Ineligible. Read up !. Which part of the title do you think is copyrighted? --rimshot^talk 10:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid this is not eligible for hosting on Commons. The image is part of a title sequence, and it is a copyrighted trademark belonging either to ABC or the production company. The issue of copyrighted trademarks has been discussed at length on Commons, and this image would require a release by the trademark's owner.

On another note, you've only just become an administrator, so let me explain something. It's a bad idea to restore images that another administrator has deleted without discussion beforehand. I suggest you be very careful in doing it in the future. Cary Bass ^demandez 16:24, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

(the above is copied from my talk, let's keep the discussion in one place)

I still think that it shouldn't have been deleted without discussion. There is ample precedence for keeping trademarked logos, if they don't have a sufficient degree of originality. Anyway, let's see where the deletion request goes. As you say, I am a new admin and may be wrong. If this is deleted, I'll have learned something new :) --rimshot^talk 16:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

thank you for your reply and initiative to propose me for the post. I'm discussing within a group of linguist who are bringing there abilities to a google translation project, i do think there are many opportunities to a great development of ht-wikis, particularly the wikipedya and wiksyonè. I'm trying now to reorganize the categories which are not collected within portals (mathematics, physics, history, education ...etc) and filing essential entries for encouraging contributions.

i'll follow the discussion on my application on RFP, have i to do something else? if not, it's ok for me. thx again

Hi there

Heya Cary,

I went out photo-hunting yesterday and took a bunch of shots, most of which are going on wikipedia articles, but the best ones I'm nominating for Quality Image and eventually Featured Image. Would you mind doing a Quality image review, and considering whether I should candidate them for Featured? It's my first time in this process so I don't know what to expect.

Universities and colleges

I know it's been a long time, but when you created Category:Universities and colleges in the United States you placed it under Category:Buildings in the United States. But a university or college isn't typically a single building, and may include many things besides buildings (open outdoor space, athletic stadiums, and also people). (In the extreme cases, a single college or university may have widely dispersed campuses: consider Antioch in this respect.) It seems to me that we should want to separate out a Category:University and college buildings in the United States (which should be under Category:Buildings in the United States) from the present category, which I think should not. But before I even begin to contemplate such an enormous task, I figured I'd check with you and see if there is something I'm missing. - Jmabel | talk 05:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to do it. Cary Bass ^demandez 01:11, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Many Thanks

Dear Bastique,
Thank you for taking part in my Requests for Adminship. The RfA was successful and I am now an administrator here. There were concerns over my temperament from respected editors, and I have taken these concerns on board, with the aim of being a more polite and courteous administrator both here and on the English Wikipedia. If you need help with anything, here or on the English Wikipedia, such as history from deleted images and such, please don't hesitate to shout. My door is always open, so to speak. Nick 20:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC).

Image:Grande Arche de La Défense et fontaine.jpg

File:Grande Arche de La Défense et fontaine.jpg

Hello, you have supported to the promotion of the image Image:Grande Arche de La Défense et fontaine.jpg to the Featured Picture status, and I thank you for that. Currently this image has been proposed to deletion by another user under the pretext that there is no FOP in France.

I believe that the image is not a copyright infringement; the main subject is the water from the fountain, the Grand Arche is unavoidable in the background. In what the lightning of the fountain is concerned, as user Arad mentioned in the original nomination, they are very simple and they do not have a special plan, so they cannot be copyrighted.

If you wish you can express your opinion on this issue on the deletion request page of this image, otherwise the image could disappear soon; the usage check indicates that the image is already used in around 150 pages around internation wikis (usage check), it would be a pity for the community to see a FP image disappear.

Thanks and best regards, --Atoma 16:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Help with renaming

Hi, I would be grateful if you could help with the following.

I am User:Dovi at most Wikimedia wikis; I am a b'crat at he.wikisource.org and an admin at wikisource.org.

However, here at Commons when I first logged in I made some sort of error with my password, and didn't put in an e-mail address. User:Dovi here at Commons is me, but I haven't been able to log in ever since, and have been contributing instead as User:DoviJ.

The User:Dovi account has 0 contributions.

I just finished creating my global account for all Wikimedia projects but I cannot complete it here at the Commons because of the above problem.

As a b'crat, is there anything you can do regarding renaming that can solve the problem? If User:DoviJ could be renamed as User:Dovi it would solve the problem.

It seems that the discussion has gone on far longer than it should have and perhaps both parties should take a break from it before further comments are made that can be construed as bordering on defamation. It looks to have gotten the attention of several administrators as well. I don't know if more attention on these photographs from a broader spectrum of the community would be to the advantage of these photographs. Bastique ^demandez 19:42, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you please follow up two OTRS tickets for me? I think the images are copyvios...

Can you please check the OTRS tickets for Image:Amanda Gilman 2.jpg and Image:Amanda Gilman 1.jpg? I can't imagine who is licensing them under creative commons, because the first one is very definitely copyrighted by Fadil Berisha and the Miss Universe Organization. Unfortunately they've just taken down the 2006 profiles and the Internet Archive hasn't captured the image, but I know for a fact that that image is copyright. If you need more proof, I'll dig something up. The second was a professional picture taken during Gilman's reign. I guess I am less sure about this one, perhaps the release came from the photographer, I don't know but in light of the first problem I am highly suspicious of it too. Thanks.

That's creepy. :P Bastique ^demandez 18:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you!

Dear Bastique: I'm passing by to thank your support in my admin request. Next time I decide to put some order in the the wikipedia logos category, I won't need to bother you again, lol! As for the obvious hint about the OTRS, well, Patrícia has been talking me into it for some time now... maybe soon I'll make up my mind. Cheers, Waldir ^talk 15:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Usurpation at fi-wiki

Fi-wiki has a community-approved usurpation policy now, so we would appreciate it if you let us handle the usurpations in fi-wiki. Usurpation of fi:Käyttäjä:Rebecca could have been done in accordance with our policy. I hope it wasn't what it looked like — a powerful en-wiki user getting preferential treatment.

Nonsense. Rebecca is an ombudsman. The account had zero edits and was created two years ago. There are global rights involved. I didn't put it int he edit summary. Assume Good Faith applies to everyone. Bastique ^demandez 16:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Just to be clear: so you will walk over our usurpation policy if the need arises again? (I think you just lost AGF there...) Are there any other fi-wiki policies that do not apply to this ombudsman commission? Just how critical was this usurpation of an innocent fi-wiki user since it couldn't have waited for the two weeks our policy requires?

Some stewards seem to think they are not actually allowed to walk over local policies. Although that case was just about regular little people.

(Background: fi-wiki's usurpation policy or lack thereof was under heated discussion just a while ago, and our community worked hard to craft its own policy so that we would not be walked over. You seemed to do just the thing our policy was crafted to prevent.) MikkoM (talk) 18:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you take a few days and cool off before constructing messages such as this again. Bastique ^demandez 18:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
